The Going gets tough..
Jan 12, 2023
Transitioning from one country to the next as a nurse is never easy. As a transitional nurse though, rest assured that those challenges will help you to later navigate the system.
Challenges I personally faced on the job include adjusting to an electronic health record system and adopting to the American hospital culture. It was a real challenge and some days felt worse than some but as time marched on i adopted somewhat. In my country Jamaica I was referred to by my last name with Nurse in front, e.g. Nurse Snow (last name changed) in the USA they called you by your first name, of course I was shocked as the same applied to supervisors and managers. The challenges diminished as time went on and I integrated myself among the team and adjusting as the days come along. However, I realized there was a lot to learn not just about my job but the country itself.
What are some of the challenges you faced as a nurse after migrating?
